I think the puppy may be defective. We walked past a dead goose today and she didn't even notice. Aren't puppies supposed to be all up in that, getting covered in feathers and glorying in dead thing-ness? After the walk I gave her a bath, which was a horror that defies the telling. Not because she caused me any trouble, but because she just huddled

When you are ready for recs I just read a good fic about Castiel! =D
Oh man, I thought Shakespearean deaths were bad enough in plays, let alone ballet! (And I have a crack!fic with no spoilers, if you've seen the first episode of SPN, that involves ballet. http://themaskedmckay.livejournal.com/6126.html)

Watchmen did very little for me. I was pleased with the cast, it left me very strongly feeling like I'd watched a comic book with fanvids inserted here and there, but I did like the revised ending. It seemed a lot tidier than the comic.

After I heard about the BSG finale I'm rather glad I didn't get into it. =p

I shall look forward to fanfic!

I've been reading a few fics actually, despite my lack of grounding in canon. I'm enjoying gen with Bobby, Ruby, the angels and the brothers. I have a feeling I'm going to have fun with John, after I've watched the first few seasons. Sam/Ruby and Dean/Castiel is also working for me.

I'm not really worried about spoilers, in general, so don't worry about not revealing things to me. ;)

Watchmen... yeah. I don't know. It was there. Dan/Laurie managed to be adorable, despite Malin Ackerman's lifeless performance. There were a number of solid performances (Rorschach, Comedian, Silk Spectre I), but overall it... lacked an emotional centre? The revised ending worked for me too. It was certainly easier to explain than a squid would have been.

The fic is about Iron Man, and the extremis enhancile, and the changes it works on him. Is he still Tony?! *gasp*

Ooh, in that case, http://pandarus.livejournal.com/248406.html
This fic was really well done!

There really wasn't an emotional centre at all. But I can't recall if the book had it either. When I finished reading the book, so many years ago, I felt quite ill. At least the movie didn't do that to me! XD

Oh man! Now I have to look up what the extremis enhancile is! (Although, the name seems to be a hint.)

[schmevil]

Extremis is a Warren Ellis invention, and is predictably awesome. At least, it's awesome if you're into cybernetics, post-humanism and man-machine integration. Which I am. :) So, Tony's friend is working on a secret project. She's engineering something called extremis, which is a variation on the old super soldier theme, but this enhancile isn't purely biological or chemical. The process is basically injecting nanites that rewrite the body, making it better, or different. The purpose of extremis can vary, but it always works to make the body more efficient and more durable. It can also rewrite you to have superpowers. For reasons of Plot, it becomes necessary for Tony to inject himself with extremis

Gah! Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre is the worst, that way. Of course, then you get the plays where they take six thousand years to die, but somehow it manages to be hilarious rather than annoying. Have you ever seen/read Women Beware Women? Best. Last scene massacre. Ever.

What do you teach, if you don't mind me asking?

Snyder's utter hamhandedness when it came to human emotion and musical choices was a sore point, but all in all, it could have been so much worse.

Hamhanded indeed. That's the word! Good try for a hard subject but some of those scenes had way too much blah blah and unnecessary pointing.
...and I'm still bitter about the changes in the 'birth' of Rorschach.:)
(Dan/Laurie, absolutely. Tho, Dan/anyone works for me too.:)

I watch BSG by seasons. That way I can fool myself that there is hope.

Oo, fic!:)

I'd love some good Dan/other dudes gen. He has so much bromance potential. The unfortunate thing is that there are so few candidates in Watchmen for something even approaching a healthy relationship. Dan/Laurie is where it's at, I suppose.

Good try for a hard subject but some of those scenes had way too much blah blah and unnecessary pointing.

Holy shit, yes. Moves are a visual medium Zack, you can leave some things left unsaid! I don't think he trusted the audience to get stuff without his laying things out for them.

Oo, fic!

Gen, though. But hopefully interesting gen.

What's wrong with gen?
Post it! :)
